@ Radityo.ardi
i really appreciate all your contribution to the development of the EA.
Please look into this attached image and provide guide on how we can make the EA take the trade in such a pattern ..this will definitely help the huge draw down occassionally experience with the 1,2,4,8 .... or 1,2,3,4,5....

{quote} I have one question and one request. Question: Start and stop time is our PC time or broker time on our MT4 platform? Request: If you add one more option of Start and stop time then it would be easy to do forward testing on news. I take responsibility of doing forward testing the system during news. There are two main sessions when we have important news/reports are coming, one is LO and other is NYO. If we have option like this Start and stop time for First trade Start and stop time for second trade My plan is to take only one trade in...
@aahmad29,
Actually I have thought of it before to add multiple series of date and time for start and stop time. But I won't give another parameter settings for that.
My idea would be something like CSV file. So you put the entry line by line as below. To avoid such error readings, you need to put as date and time.

27 Feb 2015 13:00:00, 27 Feb 2015 14:00:00
27 Feb 2015 17:00:00, 27 Feb 2015 18:00:00

This way, the EA will open orders at that timerange.
Why should be like that format?
The reason being is that you can just simply look at FF calendar for red news. Extract the date and time range for the whole month, or the whole 2 months. And let EA run under VPS. You'll get a better execution time without bothering opening and attach EA again. You'll just need to update CSV file every month.

Please wait while I'm trying to make this happen

It is a very good feature to have.

Hmm... such a different pattern.
You can set fixed pattern like: 10, 14, 10, 14, 19, 25
I don't know what's the next number after 25, but if you set to "Multiply" and factor as 2, then it will be 50, 100, 200.

And together with that, set the starting lot to fixed: 0.01
so it will produce 0.01 * 10 = 0.10, 0.01 * 14 = 0.14, etc

Then set the target to Fixed Points, and points target type to Fixed TP and SL
If you set Gaps to 100 points, then TP you set to 300 (you have to calculate it manually)
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

This time I set the time 5 minutes before news and first 2 trades had 0.02 max lot.

Max lot used from 8:25 AM - 1:00 PM NY time was 0.08

Detail attached.

Question: If I use Cycle=1 then it means that once Fixed money profit is achieved, EA will close the trade and wont take any other trade?

My plan is to take two trades a day, one in LO and other in NYO

A few notes during the weekend:

It seems that still there was a bug in Support and Resistance and Daily High and Low scenario with fixed number of max cycle ( > 0).
The bug will happen if you intend to run the EA 24/7 in VPS. But if you run ocassionally, it won't happen.

My observation on Martingale with Less Risk:
Martingale with 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2... series didn't close a cycle properly. It was simply because of the more martingale index, the target price will be more wide. So what happened is that martingale reaches somewhere in index of 40+, but never closed a cycle. I've pointed out this before actually.
Martingale with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... series didn't work as well, but at least target price is more tight than 1, 2, 2, 2 series. Still martingale reaches index 30+ and it was "fine", some profit were made. But when market starts to lazy to move on, then the cycle closes longer than expected.
Martingale with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13... again same story as above.

I'll be honest with you, my conclusion is although it is less risk, you'll face these 2 problems:
Your cycle closes longer, because you set it to a lowest measurement. Let us say, you've set martingale 1, 2, 2, 2, and your index reaches 50 with gap of 100 points for 5 digits pair. That means your target price is nearly impossible to reach.
Time does matter, if you reached index 50, and target is reached, system will try to close all of it at the same time. While closing all orders takes time, the price sometimes changed 1 pip or 2, then the profit for the order that is still opened will change as well. So better to keep martingale index down to <15 to avoid this thing.

Again, I'm testing with normal martingale starting from today, only thing is the settings is "Multiply", not with 2, but 1.5. So will produce 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 8.... So let us see how it will be. Below is the URL for you to check.
http://www.forexfactory.com/radityo.ardi/61

For summary of the normal martingale anytime:
Actually this Martingale AnyTime is to find what would be the best settings to run this EA on a limited time range daily.
It's been 28 days since the start of this EA. The result is surprisingly a clean 40% PROFIT!
Below is the daily profit chart:

Click to Enlarge Name: Screenshot1.png Size: 50 KB

For morning timeframe (08:00am SGT to 13:00pm SGT) was running at EUR/JPY for sometime, and changed to AUD/USD. But now I've removed the morning timeframe as of now. For night timeframe (15:00pm SGT to 00:00am SGT) is always running at EUR/USD all along.

Was quite worried, because it was reaching index 12 with volume size 40.96, but that never happened. Still 40% profit is not clean all the way.
Attached Image

See all those spikes? That was because index 12 was reached. If you look closely, there was downslope in the profit, which was because of coding mistakes for implementing Max Loss, it could've been 43% or 45% profit without this mistakes. See it on red circle in the below image.

For summary of Martingale SNR (Support and Resistance):
Apparently the max cycle feature didn't work properly. So some days didn't get any executions. I think I have fixed it in v1.09 (not released yet). If this confirmed fixed, then I can release it.
The profit? Quite good, 17% Profit as of now, for the age of 32 days. There was spikes, but very less.
There are 2 series of settings change in this SNR: Profit changed from Points to Money, and yesterday I change the series modifier to 1.5 instead of 2.0.

Note:
High risk are still there. Please put a hard note that for the same pair EURUSD, for each and every broker has different spreads, movement behaviour, digits. So results can be different. I suggest you to test at least 1 or 2 months to make sure your settings is fine.
Change in the one of the settings, change in broker, change in account type, change in spreads, or any affecting factor, that means you need to re-test again for 1 or 2 months again.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

I'm not sure what I did but something must be wrong... On testing, after changing many settings, it gave me around 125 000 transactions in 40 days.
initial deposit - 500 usd. total net profit - 34 365 usd.
I don't think that any broker will let me test this on a live account.

Share your settings then... I'm as the coder of this EA is also curious to know, since I always thought that kind of big profit can't be happened.

something it's wrong with the platform from squared financial. On fxcm it doesn't work the same. However, I will keep testing on a demo account on live trading to see what's wrong.

Its just impossible. You must have about 2-3 transactions (closed orders) at every M1 bar (125000/40 days / 1440 ).

Don't change any index at the moment. The index is important for EA to recognize the trades.
I'm in the middle of removing the index in the comment section, will release it this weekend once it is done.
